prompted by sinister spirit, for such
an utter perversion of facts can scarcely
be supposed as arising altogether from
ignorance on the part of one capable of
framing letter in respectable English.
The general declaration is made and ar
gued with transparent malignity that
the accretiOn of population, geographic
cal extension and building projects have
not only terminated in this city, but
passed into rapid state of current de-
cline. The writer seems to have been
affected among other infirmitieS with
what the Hibernians call "Innocence,"
in his apprehenSions of parallels. He
informs the inhabitants of this city, to
their amazement, that Winnipeg and
Minneapolis represent kindred projects
and have passed into uni
imprudence of generally respected
journal, giving currency by publica-
ton to such unmitigated stupidity
and falsehood, the communication re-
ferred to would be entitled to no notice
at all, but the fact appearing that many
of the projects contributing to the
development and prosperity of Mime
apOlis represents the investment of
capital from the East, apart from the
steady influx of profit arising from the
balance of trade in our favor, and under
present loss, and that the capital re-
ferred to has been found safe and even
remunerative in such investments, con-
tinues to be so, and the future is even
more assured than the past. make facts
of history prove the falsehood of the
averments of this sapient correspond
ent. The extension of Minneapolis in
population, and the built-up territory.
as even one casually must knOwif at all
familiar with the facts, is caused by the
manufacturing and commercial activity
local, fixed and permanent. Add one
detail repeated daily and increasing in
volume as building statistics show of
the last year, namely. the working
man here and his friend coming,
urged by letter, seeks an independent
will cost about $500. the house about
$500. He goes to that locality where
this price of lots exist, and this leads to
annual, reliable and continuous settle
ment, and building, with incidental i'm
prOvementS. This is one factor, and but
one of many Incidental forces building
up Minneapolis, and the effect of the
coming here of such a class is the rea-
son of other causes, demanding a con-
tinual increase of the labor force to pro-
pei growing local industries. The above
argument was furnished the GLOBE
man by Col. Fairman, the artist, in an
interview had with him yesterday. The
colonel takes great interest in Mime
apolis real estate. AS he possesses his
share of it, and as he lives in New York,
where the derogatory article was pub
lished, this matter mas peculiarly inter-
ested him. Considerable activity is re-
ported in exchanges. There being a
demand for city property in ex-
change for farms and timber lands.
Inquiries are lively as to sites, and the
outlook in business prospects locally is
wholesale and retail clothing firm in
New York has been making a close in
spectiOn of the ground in the Twin Cit
les, the past month, and ere long there
is little doubt that one of the largest
New York houses in this line will open
branch in the city. A water pipe
manufacturing company also mediate
building shop here, but as matters are
in an embryOtic condition they wish it
kept in the dark for the present.
Real estate men are evidently very
faStidious and aesthetic in their tastes,
as some of their offices are gotten up in
a style regardless of expense and re-
plete with the latest decorations.
